Researching book printing companies and comparing notes on the prices, paper quality and delivery times. Ordering printing samples and contacting customer service with questions.

Outlining reward tiers for the campaign, and researching additional goodies to offer besides the books themselves. Definitely going to do postcards; prints, stickers and coloring books are also a possibility. (I'm open to suggestions if you have any!)

Creating catchy graphics for the Kickstarter page.

Laying out the pages for the book and writing up summaries for each character.

Ordering a paperback copy of Ladies of Kirk, to take photos and videos for the campaign.

Drawing myself as a Star Trek character, for the "About the Artist" page. (That fuzzy thing I'm holding in my hands is a tribble. If you don't know what a tribble is, watch the episode "The Trouble with Tribbles.")
